§ 31. Major Boyd-Carpenterasked the Minister of Labour how many war-workers in Kingston, Surbiton and Maiden have been released by the Supply Departments for civilian production since 23rd August, 1945.
§ Mr. IsaacsI regret that this information is not in the possession of my Department.
§ Major Boyd-CarpenterAs the right hon. Gentleman said three weeks ago in response to a question from an hon. 1901 Member opposite that he could give, the figures for Birmingham, may I ask why he cannot give them for much smaller boroughs?
§ Mr. IsaacsI am sorry. I do not recall the incident to which the hon. and gallant Member refers; but if we have adopted the practice of giving figures for one area, obviously we cannot deny them to other areas. I will look into the matter again.
